Havana Weather in June

June weather in Havana

June is hot, sticky and often showery, and it's the rainiest of the three months around it. Afternoons reach 32°C, and the humid air can make a walk through Old Havana feel tiring. Rain falls on 16 days, often in sudden bursts, so a shower can easily interrupt an outdoor plan.

May and July are both hot too, but they get noticeably less rain than June. Use the wet spells for the Museo de la Revolución or a long lunch, and save Plaza Vieja and the Malecón for the clearer hours. The sea stays warm, but with this much rain and cloud, a full beach day is less appealing than you might hope.

Events and crowds

If you want the best of Havana's weather, plan for November to March instead, and April and October are worth a look if you're flexible. June is quieter than that busy winter season, so you'll usually find fewer visitors and lower hotel prices, though popular Old Havana spots still draw a crowd.

Father's Day is celebrated in Cuba in June, but it doesn't bring a major citywide festival. Don't plan your trip around a big event this month. The weather and a slower pace are more of the story here.

A local tip for June

For families, the cooler indoor hours at the Museo de la Revolución can be easier than a long, sunny walk through Old Havana. Keep your route flexible around sudden showers. The arcades near Plaza de Armas offer shelter while you explore the historic centre, and nearby museums and cafés make easy stops until the rain passes. For an evening outing, the Malecón can still be lovely, but check the sky before you set off, because a wet walk along the sea wall isn't much fun.
